Halifax pupils to star on TV

Children from Halifax schools will star on TV, over the Easter weekend.

Halifax primary pupils star in CBeebies’ Three Little Pigs presented by Mr Bloom (Ben Faulks) and with performances from Northern Ballet recorded at The Victoria Theatre, Halifax.

The traditional tale is told through narrative, dance and an interactive audience.

Ben Faulks said: “I had a fantastic time when we were filming; the dancers were amazing and even Mr Bloom learned a few dance moves from them! I think Easter is the perfect time for families to sit down and watch The Three Little Pigs together and hopefully children and their families will be dancing around their living rooms!”

CBeebies controller, Kay Benbow, said CBeebies has an important role to play in providing arts programming for young children.
